Community Care Spotlight - Southern Nevada
Join the Parkinson's Foundation Southwest Chapter for a dynamic Community Care Spotlight designed specifically for professionals who care for or support individuals living with Parkinson's disease in Southern Nevada.

This interactive morning gathering offers a welcoming space to learn, connect, and strengthen your ability to provide informed, compassionate care. Enjoy a light breakfast while gaining practical insights into Parkinson's disease and discovering trusted, no-cost resources you can use to better support your patients, residents, and families.
Hear directly from Parkinson's Foundation experts, movement disorder specialists, and allied health professionals as they share the latest advances in Parkinson's care, evidence-based best practices, and specialized training opportunities created for caregiving professionals like you.
Whether you work in healthcare, senior living, home care, or rehabilitation, this event will help you:
- Deepen your understanding of Parkinson's disease
- Learn practical strategies for day-to-day caregiving
- Access free professional tools and education
- Build meaningful connections with local Parkinson's care leaders
Attendance is free, but space is limited. Register today to secure your spot and invest in the care you provide to those living with Parkinson's.
